Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mechanics for the Upper School
Considerable space is devoted to practical applications. Throughout the book there are references to the automobile, the airplane, the base-ball curve and other familiar subjects. Indeed some may be disposed to criticise the amount of attention given to these matters, especially in the chapter on machines. But they are all interesting illustrations of mechanical principles and are of the greateét interest to our young people. For these reasons they are included, certainly not to supply material for written examinations.
